SKYCAR Overview

A closer look of the SKYCAR reveals the integration of the aerodynamic design with automotive layout and ergonomics. SKYCAR is a blend of high performance, excellent ergonometric and very large internal volume fuselage, together with a state of the art avionics, systems and design at a reasonable cost.

SKYCAR features a twin-boom empennage, twin vertical tail, high stabilator design combined with a high wing and two pusher mounted Lycoming engines. The twin boom configuration permits the SKYCAR to offer a rear door. This unique door allows direct loading of any cargo. Combine this loading flexibility with the additional benefit of the rear door being operable in flight, and the SKYCAR becomes an airborne delivery platform for medicine, clothing, food, and emergency rescue equipment. The end result is a clean central fuselage that can be adapted to a multitude of roles including tourism, training, cargo, medical evacuation, border patrol, air rescue and environmental monitoring. Whether your mission calls for a comfortable carriage for passengers, the delivery of a critical cargo, air ambulance and sky surveillance operation, the SKYCAR is an adaptable platform.

Day, night, VFR, IFR, paved runway or unprepared grass and dirt strips, the SKYCAR is an affordable solution to your mission needs.
